Mr West also revealed he’s pursuing a separate venture writing and illustrating children’s books under the pen name, Oliver John Bedtime Stories.

“I’ve been writing for friends and nephews and nieces for a while and people are starting to ask me to do it more. Since I now have more freedom I thought I might as well try and reach a broader audience,” he said.

“The first book I wrote was three years ago for my nephew. I thought it was a nice thing to do for someone.

“I find it quite enjoyable to write for children and I’m quite good at art so I thought I would illustrate it as well. I never really had time but for now I do.”
